الْقَاعِدَةُ الْعَامَّةُ: يُرْسَمُ تَنْوِينُ النَّصْبِ أَلِفاً عَلَى يَمِينِهَا مِنَ الْأَعْلَى فَتْحَتَانِ، إِلَّا فِي الْأَسْمَاءِ الْمُنْتَهِيَةِ بِتَاءٍ مَرْبُوطَةٍ وَالْأَسْمَاءِ الْمُنْتَهِيَةِ بِأَلِفٍ لَيِّنَةٍ، إِذْ يُرْسَمُ فَتْحَتَيْنِ عَلَى الْحَرْفِ الْأَخِيرِ.

General rule: The accusative tanwin is written as an alif with two fatha marks above it, except for nouns ending in ta' marbuta or a soft alif, where the two fatha marks are placed directly on the final letter.

يُرْسَمُ تَنْوِينُ النَّصْبِ فَتْحَتَيْنِ عَلَى الْهَمْزَةِ الْمُتَطَرِّفَةِ إِذَا سُبِقَتْ بِأَلِفٍ أَوْ كَانَتْ عَلَى أَلِفٍ وَذَلِكَ كَيْلَا تَتَكَرَّرَ أَلِفَانِ.

The accusative tanwin is written as two fatha marks on a terminal hamza if it is preceded by an alif or sits upon one, to avoid repeating the alif.

يُرْسَمُ تَنْوِينُ النَّصْبِ أَلِفاً عَلَى يَمِينِهَا مِنَ الْأَعْلَى فَتْحَتَانِ بَعْدَ الْهَمْزَةِ الْمُتَطَرِّفَةِ، إِذَا لَمْ تُسْبَقْ بِأَلِفٍ أَوْ لَمْ تَكُنْ عَلَى أَلِفٍ.

The accusative tanwin is written as an alif with two fatha marks above it after a terminal hamza, provided that hamza is not preceded by an alif or sitting on one.
